THE POLICE WERE ATTRACTED
to the building to see what was wrong,
and n fight almost ensued between two
young men, supporters of the opposing
sides. Many of the members would not
venture out until the crowd had dispersed,
as they did not desire to be reproached for
their position in the matter. Ii was at
least half an hour after the adjournment
of the Board before the lobby dispersed,

stood out ON the sidewalk and discussed
